I realize we're treading on your personal territory, but come on. Is what you're saying is the trained professional designers should have a monopoly on ideas on how a bridge (etc) should look, and everyone else should stay out of it?

Kids are pretty imaginative. Are they going to come up with a perfectly workable design? Of course not... but they could generate ideas that a true professional would take and run with. Where's the harm in that? Too much pride?
